Protein in urine

Hi again, I looked at your profile and saw you had kidney disease and have multiple myeloma. I have read that both of these conditions can cause foamy urine. Trying to figure out if i have bubbles or foam. I was leaning more towards bubbles but I don’t know.

Did you ever have foamy urine? If you did, did the foam stay in the toilet after you flush? I read bubbles are flushable and foam is not. Most of my bubbles are popping right away. However, in the morning with my first pee, the bubbles only slightly popped and remained in toilet. I waited 7 minutes then flushed and it went away.

@pirone27 I have had kidney disease for decades, and the formal diagnosis was in 2015. Since 1986 I have had high protein levels in my urine. At that time and for many years, it was attributed to Systemic Lupus, not kidney disease. Yes, sometimes bubbly, sometimes foamy, but I never truly considered whether bubbles or foam was a factor.

May I gently suggest: don't dwell on the worst case scenario possible. It can drive you down a rabbit hole if you go to the computer and Dr. Google, stress you out [certainly not needed!] and lead you to information not applicable to you.
